A Word from Our Attendees . . .
“
I went to my first Problogger Conference in 2013. It was a pinnacle year in my blogging journey because I learned that there was much more to blogging than just writing a post and sharing it on Facebook.
Since 2013, I have been to every Problogger event that has been held in QLD. It is the only event in Australia where you get a mixed bag of bloggers in the one venue. I see it as my personal development training for my blog.
Even if you don’t want to make an income from your blog, Problogger Conference is a great way to open your eyes to the world of blogging. I have no doubt that if you don’t have a blog, you will be itching to start one after you have attended the event.

A great event yet again!
Having attended 4-5 times now, the Problogger conference is one of the very few non-industry specific conferences I attend each year that allows me to further my own development around my blog and business.
Great job Darren and the entire team!

At Problogger Event you talked about pivoting... your speech must have reached my subconscious on some level and slowly I began to pivot.
Although I have been blogging for over 9 years, I have never really had the success that I have achieved in the last 3 months.
I had a bit of help from other bloggers - all who I met at the Problogger Event!!
Now, I've sold close to 1000 books on pre-sale and the book is not even finished yet. Orders keep coming in everyday and i have achieved the most success that I have had in my blogging career as yet.

Is this Event Right for You?
ABSOLUTELY!
- You're about to start or have recently started your blog - no better time to get the foundations right than at the beginning!
- You've blogged for a while, but you're feeling a bit stuck - revisiting the pillars will help you figure out where to refocus your efforts in your blogging.
- You're looking for some inspiration (Darren and Jeff have it in spades) and love meeting other bloggers, and $199 seems pretty reasonable for that!
MAYBE NOT
- You've mastered the basics of blogging and your main challenges are around scaling and profitability (check out the Mastermind)
- You only want detailed information on Video, SEO, Pinterest or other specific content or channels. Again, the Mastermind would be a better option.
- You've already achieved world domination
- Events and networking are not really your thing
